I have a 14" PB G3 in excellent condition (especially for it's age) that I may sell.

G3 300MHz
320MB
10GB HD
CD-ROM drive
56K modem
ethernet
AC adapter

everything works, except the battery... it's toast. Right now I have 9.2.2 on it, though it runs OS 10.2 quite well. I'll also include a cardbus FW400 card.

I'd like to get about $300 for it, otherwise I'll just use it as a web browsing machine in my guest room.

Do you know which one it is? As in, Wallstreet, Pismo, Kanga,...

[edit] And now that I think, I realize the only PB it -could- be is the PDQ with 66mhz bus -> 300mhz since the Pismo never saw 300mhz.

That is correct. It's the fastest of the Wallstreets.

Still available and will go to $300 including shipping (in cont US).

I'll post some pics of it tomorrow when I get to work (I left my digital camera there by mistake).

Here's some pics for those interested. Sorry about the quality, I had to use my miniDV camera and it doesn't do the best job in the world with stills. Still, they give you a pretty good idea of the condition





BTW, email or PM me if interested.

If you arn't getting any takers after a while, and I know its kind of rude to lowball like this, but I'll take it for $200 + shipping & insurance. Just to let you know there is a last resort out there.

Yeah, that's pretty low. Everymac has the value of it at $500-$600, which a think is a little high. Although, given that it has a 10GB HD, 384MB of RAM, and includes a FW card (though needs a new battery), I'd say it's worth $400-450 easily (on ebay this 300MHz model goes for $450-$550 with similar specs). I think $300 is very fair, and a great bargain.
